Soundcraft Debuts Series Two Console

October 2, 1999 -- Soundcraft’s new Series TWO, which makes its first US appearance at the 107th AES Convention in New York City, is a compact live sound console aimed at small touring sound companies, theaters, churches and other fixed installations. Taking full advantage of Soundcraft’s advanced manufacturing techniques, the desk combines a high level of features and performance in a cost-effective package.

Available in 24, 32 and 40 mono channel frame sizes with two fully featured stereo line inputs on each model, the Series TWO is built into a new frame offering classic three-tier raked styling for excellent visibility of control settings. An integral meterbridge provides input and output metering on LED bargraphs.

The console’s wide-range input stage offers switchable 48V Phantom Power and Phase Reverse. A variable-frequency High Pass Filter with separate In/Out switch is available on each channel, as is Soundcraft’s classic four-band EQ with two sweepable mids and EQ In/Out switch. A generous eight mono Auxes have Pre/Post Fader switching in pairs and a Pre/Post EQ switch, while eight Group busses are routable in pairs plus Left, Right and Mono (center).

Direct Outs with Pre buttons on each channel enable the Series TWO to feed out to multitrack recording devices during live performances. The desk’s Master section is equipped with all of the typical pro amenities, such as SOLO (PFL and SIP), Talkback and 2-track returns.

Additional standard features on the desk include:
